First expedition to the can return machine. Got enough back to almost pay for a big sack of cat litter. Impressed with the speed of the thing!
Lucky, three times i've tried so far. Full, full, out of commission.
Really wish the frigging app told you that
Well poot! 💩
Ooh lucky, wish I had one of those local to me. Mine's an over the counter at a local shop; which is ok because they give you cash but they don't like the larger bottles, only the smaller ones and cans etc. I suppose they've got to put them somewhere out back.
My literalclosest is an over the counter but I’m not going there! Machines of no shame thanks.
That's awesome. I bet it eats cat food cans
Ah, none near me unfortunately. Here's the map of 'reverse vending machines' if anybody wants it https://mytomra.com.au/locations/vic-container-deposit-scheme/
Looks like nothing in the east ?
Yeah it all seems crowded to the west
What kind of information did it ask? How did you get your refund? Etc.
I’m not keen on giving information, so chose the voucher option. It just prints a barcode you can scan.at Coles (and probably other places)
Oh it’s on thermal paper, so I wouldn’t advise saving them up to try to pay for a whole shop. If they fade getting hot in the glovebox or something you’ll lose the lot.
You should be able to take photos and use those, right?
That's good to know. Thank you.
